PHP if a time is after and before specified time

Question

I'm trying to get time interval after 12AM until 21PM. but I don't know how to do it and confused how to put it in the right statement.

well, I need a conditional statement like this: can someone help me?

$date = '2016-23-05 13:00:00';

if($date > 12:00:00 and $date < 21:00:00){  
//some functions
}
else{ 
//some functions
}

If(date("His", strtotime($date)) > 120000 && date("His", strtotime($date)) < 210000)

`h` will give you 1 not 13. so here your answer is wrong. – RJParikh May 23 '16 at 06:39
This won't work. See the format of the date : `2016-23-05` – Thamilhan May 23 '16 at 06:39
True.. its capital H for 24 h time. Thanks. Why would it not work @Thamilan? Have you tried it? – Andreas May 23 '16 at 06:41
I'll try it and see how the result – Henrikus Anthony May 23 '16 at 06:42
@HenrikusAnthony sorry I made a smal misstake. Will edit now – Andreas May 23 '16 at 06:50
@Thamilan see here, it works. Date just strips out what you don't want. http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/fc99d482be78dc0d6fe6eb131e65f9e369eb2237 – Andreas May 23 '16 at 07:05
@Andreas Remember when I said it. You edited your answer later. you just added `$date` without `strtotime` – Thamilhan May 23 '16 at 07:09
@Thamilan yes I added strtotime(), I fotgott it but that still does not make `2016-05-23` the problem. – Andreas May 23 '16 at 07:13
Final call.. Read the question and my comment carefully.. it is `2016-23-05` and not `2016-05-23` – Thamilhan May 23 '16 at 07:16
@Thamilan ahhh... :-D I see. Why on earth would you mix american with european date writing? I see now what you mean – Andreas May 23 '16 at 07:17
